QUESTIONS

  • If we live in a gated senior community, what is the responsibility of the Landlord to notify residents of an uptick in crime?
  • How can I negotiate a reduction in the amount garnished by the U.S. Department of Education.
  • Management at my company have been forging documentation to avoid paying fines to the state. If I become a whistleblower, what are my protections?
  • My 85 year old mother passed away suddenly on May 25. 2013. She had a lease and a security deposit of $200.00. The apartment complex has suddenly (after 3 months of attempting to get it returned after perfect walk through results) decided that I am not able to get any security deposit. Also, refuse to return my extra monies paid to stay for 14 days to remove my mother's items. I was assured that all of the money would be returned to me but now that they have a new owner, they state that they will not return any of the money that they agreed to return to me. AZ law states that they were to notify me within 14 days if any problems with refund with her security deposit or they have to pay double the amount back. Is this applicable in this case? I have continuously attempted to contact them regarding this issue and I finally got a bunch of passing the blame answers and this is three months late.
  • The house we are leasing has a converted garage that we were told is used as an office for the LL and he occasionally stays overnight when necessary.

  • I am having a situation similar to what you describe regarding my old landlord withholding my deposit, and not contacting me at all after our walk through, when i had verbally requested an itemized list of deductions. it has been 20 business days and he has not contacted me.
